Cross contamination is high if they don’t change gloves or use fresh utensils. Not Celiac safe. Informed them of this but my meal had evidence of other salsas and meat, so it appears utensils were not changed even though requested. Stopped eating as soon as saw this but still having gluten reaction

I have Celiac Disease and have had wonderful luck with Chipotle. I recommend the following procedure: immediately tell whoever is prepping your food that you have celiac disease. Typically they will automatically go and change their gloves and follow you down the line. However, if they seem unsure just explain this is what you need. Also, once they change their gloves tell them you will need fresh ingredients that have not been touched with any potentially contaminated gloves. They are always extremely happy to do this and seem to be well trained in this. It is so appreciated as eating out can cause so much anxiety! Chipotle has become a well trusted place for me. (As long as you remember to be clear with your needs!)
Yes
While the food is very good, even with changed gloves I’ve gotten ill the last two trips. The style of serving can contaminate the toppings and tools through contact.
No
Chipotle does not have a gluten free menu but instead has a list of gluten-containing ingredients to avoid. Cross-contamination is a concern, however, so let the person taking your order know that you are gluten free and if you need them to take the proper precautions.
From their website: "If you avoid gluten, don't eat our flour tortillas. If you are highly sensitive to gluten and would like us to change our gloves, just let us know at the start of your order. You should be aware items containing corn, including corn tortillas (chips, soft corn, and crispy corn tortillas) and corn salsa, may have a small amount of gluten from potentially co-mingling with gluten-containing grains in the field."
Everyone knows how good Chipotle is. If you let them know you are a celiac they will change gloves for you and everything.
Yes
I appreciate their variety of gluten free options. My daughter complains about the beans being spicy but she’s just a picky eater overall. She does enjoy the rice, queso, chicken, chips, etc. I like that I can get her a full kids meal here.

A manger is celiac and makes an effort however there is a lot of cross contamination and any type of veggie will have gluten contamination because the quesadillas are cut on the same cutting boards all veggies are cut on with minimal sanitizing and no discretion of which one is veggies only

Yikes. I've seen some Chipotle's that are fairly safe but today was not it. The server knew what cross contamination was, and she changed gloves, washed her hands, wiped down the counter, but while she was wiping everything down crumbs were falling back into the bins, and I was watching them serve before hand and the ladles would brush right against the tortillas before going back into the containers. It was probably right after the rush too. Didn't even bother ordering because I knew I'd be sick.
